Twix and tween visit to London?

It's your social organiser again.

What interest would there be in a trip to London between Christmas and New Year?

My rough plan would be to take the train to Cannon Street then a  wander around the City of London in a quiet time of the year .

Thursday 30th December have sort of normal train services and perhaps arrive around 11 AM (revised from 1PM) for a few hours photography and to walk off some of the extra weight from the festive activities!

A few ideas off the beaten track , look at the mini-map at the end of the article for other locations nearby.

Ian, Looks good to me.  I had to do a double-take when I saw your links took me to "IanVisits".

Personally I think the City of London would be better for this one.  There are a lot of hidden places to explore and better without the crowds.  The Outer Temple Alley may be closed for Christmas and I think the Inns of Court with their gardens look better in the spring.

That is a great idea Ian. Daytime, so I would love to go!
I was in the City recently and it is already like a ghost town although very busy with all the building work. But, as they break for Christmas, during that time would be ideal.

Either date works for me. Leadenhall market will be decorated for Christmas and might be worth a visit as we are in the area.
